The Lake Mead Gay Beach
Las Vegas has a gay beach at Lake Mead.
There is usually a nice clothing-optional crowd in the summertime and weekends.
Bring a picnic basket, towels, blanket or lawn chairs and plenty of cold drinks!

From Downtown LV area:
Drive North to Lake Mead Bl. in North Las Vegas. This is NOT the same Lake Mead Drive as in Henderson. Drive East, past Hollywood Blvd., through the pass at Sunrise Mountain, and about 10 miles to a stop sign at an intersection/fork to Overton & Hoover Dam. Turn left/North here.

From the South side of the valley:
Take Freeway/Boulder Highway (South) to Lake Mead Drive in Henderson. Turn left (East) at the red light onto E. Lake Mead Drive/Route 147, and go 3 or 4 miles to a left (North) onto the road to Calville Bay.

Continuing from either direction:
After passing the Government Boat Launch area on the right, proceed 3 miles to a right onto 8.0 Mile Road (IE: The road at the 8th mile marker, exactly 4.8 miles later from the Overton/Hoover Dam fork). Proceed about 2.5 miles on this gravel road taking EVERY left when the road forks, until you reach the parking area. From the parking area it is about 500 yards to the beach, following the trails up the North side of the parking area and out a ways (about a 5 min. hike).

If you are arriving by boat look for Sandy Point west of Black Island in the Boulder Basin of Lake Mead.
